There are many circumstances where it makes sense to colour the points according to some scheme. For example, in a predictive modelling context the colour might correspond to the prediction made (yes or no). For a cluster analysis the colour might represent the cluster each point is allocated to.

A key variable of interest in the rattle::weatherAUS dataset is rain_tomorrow. By colouring the dots according to the rain_tomorrow we may begin to see relationships in the data.

The colour is added simply by specifying a further aesthetic, colour=rain_tomorrow. Different values of the variable rain_tomorrow will then be coloured differently.
